Detox or Die

Detox or Die is a personal, in-depth look at one man’s struggle with addiction and his determination to free himself from a prison of his own making. Filmmaker David Graham Scott directs and stars in this brutally honest examination of the impact addiction has on a life and the relentless hold it can take over a person’s every waking moment.

Desperate to break his ongoing reliance on drugs, Scott embarks on a controversial, highly dangerous, and potentially lethal programme that promises to cure him of his addiction within thirty-six hours. Detox or Die follows Scott for more than five years as he wrestles with addiction and ultimately makes the life-threatening decision to undertake this extremely risky procedure. The documentary shows him struggling with the excruciating pain of withdrawal and the enormous mental burden created by his decision to endure the crucible of detoxification.
